In August 1982, Coleco Industries (and CBS outside of the United States) released a home console that was the biggest threat to the then king of video games, Atari; the ColecoVision. The ColecoVision offered arcade-quality graphics and gaming style, the ability to play Atari 2600 games on the console, and had openings in the system, allowing you to expand the system's basic hardware...And it launched packed-in with an impressive version of Donkey Kong, one of the hottest arcade titles of that time. Sales of the system quickly passed one million within months...Until the video game crash of 1983 stalled its success.

     Following the crash, Coleco ramped down its video game division and bowed out of the video game market in 1985, officially discontinuing the system in October of that year. After its discontinuation, Bit corporation produced a ColecoVision clone in 1986 that they called the Dina, which was sold in the United States via Telegames as the Telegames Personal Arcade.
